Lane3;

The idea was to stop attacks on our soil so Americans could feel comfortable going to malls and football games once again, which they do

Reminds me of the strategy of a turtle. When afraid it just hides in its shell - in America. As I see it the problem with your thinking is that Americans might be able to go to the mall - but what about those of us who want to go visit other parts of the world? I have many friends who use to visit Iran and Iraq, would you visit there today?

If you were ever afraid of going to the mall and to football games, then you should still be afraid today. We were hit by terrorist of one kind or another long before the fruitcakes from Afghanistan and we will be hit by terrorist again. If you allowed yourself to be afraid to go to the mall, then you have let BinLaden win. Fear is completely irrational.
